Fabio Cicoira (Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering) is a professor of Chemical Engineering at École Polytechnique in Montréal, Canada. He is known for his studies of organic field-effect transistors, growth of organic semiconductors and organic electrochemical transistors. His activities focus on organic bioelectronics and carbon based electrodes in organic electronic devices. Dr. Cicoira received his PhD from the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (Switzerland) in 2002 and worked as a researcher at the National Research Council of Italy (2002?2005 and 2007?2011) and as a postdoctoral fellow at INRS-EMT (2005? 2007). He was a recipient of the Marie Curie International Outgoing Fellowship of the European Commission and a visiting scientist at Cornell University.Clara Santato (PhD in Chemistry) is, since August 2007, Assistant Professor at the Department of Engineering Physics of Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal (EPM). Before her appointment as Assistant Professor, she worked as Permanent Research Scientist for the National Research Council of Italy. She has been visiting scientist at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and at Purdue University. Her background is in: Organic Electronics: she pioneered the design, fabrication, and optoelectronic characterization of Organic Light Emitting Field Effect Transistors; Materials Science: she synthesized and characterized nanostructured materials for applications in photoelectrochemical solar energy conversion by scanning probe microscopy, Raman micro-spectroscopy, and grazing incidence x-ray diffraction.
